The font combines a bit of two styles, which are 70's streamline art-deco style letters for the uppercase range and a more handwritten script inspired sans-serif lowercase letters that are somewhat looking like a comic book script too.

Besides still trying to get a more complete character set I'm also still experimenting with it so expect things to change most certainly future on.

My fontstruct is based on the theme of theatre. The designs were achieved from my observations of some theatres in Bristol, as well as further research online. The main inspiration came from the achitecture around the stage curtains, which then lead me to a more art-deco style appoach.

There is one major design difference between the two works though, Isaiah's version was made using a faux bezier approach (very labour intensive) and requires a fairly large design grid, whereas my version was made using a mix of macaroni bricks and resized composites of these, and was done on just a 4x7 grid using 2:2 filter.

This different approach led to a number of small changes in the overal design result. Also did I change some glyphs slightly to my personal preference. But it remains very much Isaiah's design.

Another less important difference is that I used some of the lowercase string for alternative glyphs allow a number of stylistic variations!

I tried to create pretty simple but ellegant geometric letterforms. It is inspired by the later 70's Art Deco Streamline period.

The character set is far from complete for now, kerning done only for a few pairs and overall balance therefor is still quite poor.

--------- UPDATE v2.0 ---------

I completed much of the basic latin with mix-caps alternative glyphs and a lot more, along the way the whole project also kind of turned into a attempt to construct very thin (1/8th grid unit) sloping strokes and asymmetric curves.

I also decided to make this clonable for educational purpose to everyone interrested in making asymmetric curves with very little compromise to allignment of the constructed curving strokes. It's not a tool, but rather a little insight into how I did this. So the custom brick pallet is messy. Another important thing is, To fully understand what is going on under the hood of this fontstruction some knowledge about resizing bricks by way of composites is required. Because the location of the brick inside of the composite bricks grid can be very important upon rotation and nudging!!!

filter for brick size should remain at 2:2 in order to make propper allignement of the bricks.

Sort of a revival of the geometric letters seen on a 1916 Dutch litho to paper poster for Wm H. Müller & Co.'s Batavier-lijn passenger service Rotterdam-London. The Batavier Line was the oldest steam shipping line in the Netherlands. The line existed from 1830-1960.

It's designed to craft layers of typographic mosaics. It can create very subtle clear display text combinations when only layering text with just one or two backgrounds max. This will result in nice retro-ish mosaic typography. But beware, combining two or more background patters with for example different blending modes on each layer, this seemingly peaceful boy becomes capable of recreating the big bang!

For my 300th Fontstruction, a more open and airy deco style than those I usually make. It has a strong sense of the "negative space has been sliced out" look about it which I tend toward in an art deco design.

Even though this is legible at a small size, I consider it a display font since many of its details are subtle. In retrospect I think this looks slightly Broadway-ish... but, this was just my attempt at a 5x5 deco.

I love the look of this style. The name is self explanatory ;) if you know French.........

UC, numerals and some symbols have one line thicker than the others, LC only has the thinner lines. LC can be used on its own if even thickness of lines is desired but it is 3 px shorter than UC which will show clearly when using Basic Latin LC in combination with Hebrew, numerals, some symbols and some punctuation marks. Cyrillic and Hebrew added. Latin1 will come soon.

Original size: 6pt. Use multiples of this value for pixel perfection. However, this one has been noted to look great at almost every smaller size. Try 7pt, 8pt, 9pt, etc. for slight variations on the look!
